Card Share: December (Echo Park Through the Year)

Yes, I know it's after Christmas, but I didn't get a chance to share this card with you earlier. Maybe it will inspire you to get a head start on next year's cards. :)
I created this card with Echo Park's Through the Year collection and coordinating stamps. I even put together a photo tutorial and step-by-step instructions so you can see how it came together.

1.
Cut the 4x6" pennant journaling card from the January to April
paper. Position the journaling card so the pennants are at the top.

2.
Adhere the "Happy Holidays" banner, "Date",
"December" and tree stickers from the Element Stickers
sheet to the card as shown, only lightly tacking down the tree
sticker for now.

3.
Trim a 1 1/2" wide x 2 1/2" high piece from the "B"
side (blue solid) of the February paper, cutting the top two corners
at an angle to create a tag shape.

4.
Use the star stamp from the Calendar Designer Stamps set and
Versamark ink to stamp a random star pattern on the tag. Lightly ink
the edges of the tag with red ink.

6.
Use foam adhesive to adhere the "Let's Celebrate Today"
sticker from the Alpha Stickers sheet, over the left side of the tree
sticker, as shown.

7. Add
the numbers 2 and 5 from the Alpha Stickers sheet to the bottom left
edge of the tag.

8.
Use the "December" stamp from the Calendar Designer Stamps
set and olive green ink to stamp the word "December" above
the "December" word sticker.

9.
Punch two 3/8" circles from the 4x6 "April" journaling
card on the January to April paper (you'll end up with one aqua polka
dot circle and one yellow polka dot circle from the "B"
side) and one striped 3/8" circle from the 4x6 "December"
journaling card on the September to December paper.

10.
Use navy ink to stamp the number 25, from the Calendar Designer
Stamps set, onto the yellow polka dot circle, pink ink to stamp the
number onto the aqua polka dot circle and olive ink to stamp the
number onto the red striped circle.

11.
Use foam adhesive to adhere the stamped circles to the pennant
journaling card, as shown.

12.
Cut a 4 1/8" wide x 6 1/8" high piece from the "B"
side (pink solid) of the April paper. Mat the pennant journaling card
onto the pink paper.

13.
Glue three wood veneer stars to the journaling card, as shown.

14.
Add a red photo turn and white brad to the left side of the tag.

15.
Cut a piece of white cardstock to 4" wide x 12" long. Fold
this piece in half, top to bottom. Adhere this card base to the back
of the pink paper.

Adorable card!! And no biggie that it is after Christmas. I am sure I will be posting Christmas layouts. So many pics to scrap! Happy New Year, Lisa. Looking forward to getting to know you more in 2015!!

When I saw this card I fell in love with it - I love the design concept of 3's or trios and this card is bursting with them!!! From the pennants at the top, to the wood stars, to the circles with 25 on them, and the 3 triangles that make the Christmas tree - SO SUPER AWESOME!!! And I LOVE that you did pictures of the step by step process - maybe????? now I could try to create a card with your style!! You are just so awesome and so clever!!!

Thanks for stopping by! I am a New England girl, born and raised, now living in upstate NY. I'm a crafty, stay-at-home mom who is happiest when paper crafting, puttering in my garden, reading or cooking up something from a new recipe.
